Medicare is primarily funded through a combination of payroll taxes, premiums, and general revenue. It was first enacted in 1965 as a part of the Social Security Act, and the financing structure has evolved over time. Currently, the majority of funding comes from payroll taxes paid by employees and employers, along with premiums paid by enrollees and funding from the federal government's general revenue.
